The Pescetarian and the Pig

Yes! Fall is officially here! I see all the beautiful pumpkin stands on my drive to work, gourds at the grocery store (which I stocked up on heavily. How can I resist decorating with these beautiful things) and pumpkin recipes everywhere! I’m sure some people are getting a little tired of the pumpkin recipes and […]

Gooey Peanut Butter Cookie Brownies. Do you remember when I said I was on a diet? Do you remember when I said I was going to stick to it ever so strictly because I’m so close to my goal and I just want to be done with it already? Do you remember when Peanut Butter […]

Toffee and Peaches are a match made in Heaven. Period. Peaches are a summer staple, or so I have learned since moving to the south. Being from Seattle, roadside fruit stands selling Rainier Cherries and Blackberries have always been one of the things that signifies summer for me. In Charlotte, it’s peaches. When I found […]

Gelatin-free S’more Cupcakes. S’mores. How can you go a summer without them? Unfortunately, it’s not all that easy to come across vegan or gelatin-free marshmallows… but, luckily, marshmallow fluff does not contain gelatin! Now here’s a recipe for some delicious s’more cupcakes. Instead of adding graham cracker flavor within the cake batter or on top […]

Could there be a better dessert than one made out of pure maple syrup? I think not! Growing up in Seattle I fell madly in love with everything maple, especially Maple Bars, which are a doughnut stick covered in gooey maple icing that seem to be only a Northwest specialty (I’ve never found them on […]

I absolutely love a good coconut cake! There are so many delicious variations, and I just had to come up with one of my own. This is another one of those “3 day cakes” that should be made 3 days in advance and kept in the fridge. It will be so moist and so delicious! […]

This cheesecake serves two purposes for me: One, it’s a cheesecake that includes the ingredients of my all-time favorite sandwich. Two, this sandwich happens to be what I named my pet ducks after; Peanut, Butter, Jelly, and Banana Sandwich. I thought about naming this recipe “Quackers Cake”…. and I will probably call it that on […]

This one is so simple, so quick, so easy, calorie-free, and they work great for parties, get-togethers, snacks… It’s not by any means a new concept, but it is a beautiful way to present them! Ingredients: Starbucks Tazo Passion Iced Tea bags Water Fresh Mint Supplies: Small plastic cups Barbeque skewers Water pitcher or vase […]

I created this recipe for my mom, who is an avid peanut butter eater. I don’t think I’ve ever met a person who loves the stuff as much as she does. This pie is very smooth and very rich. The addition of the Heath bar and the shortbread crust adds a particularly delightful texture to […]

When the weather starts to heat up, all i can think about is eating fresh, cold, delicious fruit. One of my summer favorites happens to be raspberries. I created this cake for a light, sweet-tart, and refreshing alternative to the heavy cakes of winter. For best results, make this cake 3 days ahead of serving […]
